Patent number: 12276444Abstract: A refrigerant circuit includes a first compressor, a second compressor, a heat-source-side heat exchanger, an expansion mechanism, and a use-side heat exchanger. The refrigerant circuit is capable of performing a single-stage compression operation in which one of the first compressor and the second compressor is driven and the other is stopped, and a two-stage compression operation in which both the first compressor and the second compressor are driven. The control unit controls the refrigerant circuit so that, of the single-stage compression operation and the two-stage compression operation, an operation with a higher compression efficiency is performed.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Kazushi Hisayama, Kebi Chen, Tetsuya Okamoto

Patent number: 11313567Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus has a compressor disposed via a bottom member of a housing, a second elastic member, a base, and a first elastic member. A first electric component that drives a motor for the compressor and a second electric component that performs another control are fixed to the base and disposed. The base has an upper surface that contacts the first elastic member and a lower surface that contacts the second elastic member. The first electric component and the second electric component are fixed to the upper surface directly or indirectly via a substrate and/or an electric-component casing. Top portions of the first electric component and the second electric component are lower than a top portion of the compressor.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Kazushi Hisayama, Tetsuya Okamoto, Yoshinobu Tsumura, Kebi Chen, Masanori Ukibune

Patent number: 10539335Abstract: To avoid decline in the efficiency of a compressor at a low load, the thermal storage air conditioner has an operation controller which, if a rotational speed of the compressor is slowed down to a predetermined lower reference value in a simple cooling operation, switches operation of the thermal storage air conditioner from the simple cooling operation to a cooling and cold thermal energy storage operation to increase the rotational speed of the compressor. During the simple cooling operation refrigerant is condensed in the outdoor heat exchanger and evaporates in the indoor heat exchanger, and during a cooling and cold thermal energy storage operation the refrigerant is condensed in the outdoor heat exchanger, evaporates in the indoor heat exchanger, and the thermal storage medium in the thermal storage section is cooled by the refrigerant.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2015Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kouichi Yasuo, Shuuji Fujimoto, Kebi Chen, Takuya Nakao
